HumbleChief Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Is there a way? Or is it done visually only once you have change the default overhang? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenoeightspot Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Select the roof plane type in the overhang. You may need to adjust the roof plane edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Larry, There are a few things that come to mind. 1. If its the entire roof you're talking about, simply open the Build Roof Dialog and change the overhang settings. If you have Auto Rebuild checked, the change will be auto, if not then just click Build Roof Planes. 2. If its a single roof plane you're talking about and you want to leave Auto Rebuild ON...Select your Baseline Polyline, make sure the correct edge is selected, open the Roof Baseline DBX, check "Against Wall", click Okay, and then drag that edge the desired overhang distance. You may or may not need to put a break in your baseline polyline depending on the roof. 3. If its a single roof plane you're talking about and you want Auto Rebuild OFF, you can simply select the roof plane and drag the overhang the desired distance.

HumbleChief Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Sorry, dumb post alert. I don't mean how to simply adjust the overhang. I'll see if I can explain it. Let's say you've moved a roof plane AUTO REBUILD OFF and you also moved the overhang by mistake to relocate or re-dimension a roof. Going back to that roof plane's dbx there's information stating "Overhang from Baseline" which has been altered from messing with that roof plane. I would like a way to re-enter that distance and get it accurate versus eyeballing its location. Doesn't seem to be a way to re=set that overhang through a dbx setting - just visually. Correct?

In that case, select the roof edge and just use your temporary dimensions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenoeightspot Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Lock the baseline layer. Pull the bottom edge of roof to the baseline. Use temp. dim. add overhang distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 THANKS you guys. I didn't realize I could pull a dim from the baseline. Temp dims worked once I clicked on the baseline to get that dim. Never knew that was possible so again thanks William and Michael I appreciate you taking your time.
